The influence of the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates has been profound. Even today, over two thousand years after his death, he remains one of the most renowned humans to have ever lived—and his death remains one of the greatest unsolved mysteries.
There is another side to this story: impiety, lack of reverence for the gods, was a religious crime.
